Colorado Congressman Ken Buck unexpectedly announced his retirement. That reduces the House Republican majority to 218-213.

This article was last updated on September 27, five days after Menendez was indicted. That list is probably longer now. Menendez's seat is up for election this year. According to published reports in the last two weeks, he will not run for re-election, although he previously filed. Six other Democrats have already filed for Menendez's seat, including Representative Andy Kim and Tammy Murphy, the governor's wife. Qualifying ends March 25 and the primary is June 4.
Persuasive only to those with TDS. To rational people, it's obvious that these charges are purely political. And, of course, you bring Trump into this discussion, as your obsession compels you to do....continue to support a presumptive presidential nominee who has been persuasively charged with serious wrongdoing...
New York has very tough laws about qualifying to run as an independent, so it's unclear whether Santos can qualify. But if he does, the district, which is already in play, becomes a likely Democratic pickup.

One interesting sidelight about the Gallagher resignation. Under Wisconsin law, the special election for the remainder of his term will be held in November, along with the regular election. So the Republicans will remain a person down for the next eight months.

Probably had something to do with the $0 in his fundraising report. --Bobsilverscreenselect wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 6:29 amSantos has ended his independent campaign for Congress.silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 8:59 amNew York has very tough laws about qualifying to run as an independent, so it's unclear whether Santos can qualify.
